Snake Rolls
This is a game about being a snake that rolls.
Unfortunately we got stuck with some technical art trying to make a snake mesh slither and coil up early on, and because we lost a lot of time to that (and didn't even manage to get the technical art working, so we ended with a shitty placeholder snake model). Because of that the programmer wasn't able to finish all the intended gameplay features. The artist also had to work and ended up sick on the last day, so we had to throw together a level with only rocky assets.
But hey, that's game jams for ya.
Current confirmed speedrun record:

It's kind of impressve how you managed to download the game, and come back here to comment about how you couldn't find the controls, when you've had to have scroll past them TWICE to do those things :joy:
Seriously, you could’ve just uploaded a white screen with that masterpiece, and I wouldn’t have minded! :smile:
Jokes aside, the game was pretty fun. I just wish there were more obstacles and levels. Landing some of those jumps was so satisfying!
Edit: please upload the soundtrack somewhere and let me know
Somewhat basic game with an absolutely insane custom (mostly, a bit of Beatles) soundtrack I've ever seen in a Ludum Dare game. On my second run I managed to score all 30 eggs and the "You Win" in 39.00 seconds. I'm curious to know what the internal playtesting record is!
@boodle The internal record is currently 27.92 seconds :sunglasses:
Enjoyed the game play because of smart level design.
Great entry.
I wish you had more time, I can see you were going for a bigger level, but unfortunately it ended up unused.
Music kept me motivated to break the record.
Also, I'm sad to inform you that your record has already been broken, someone managed to get a 23.78! I have no idea how you wizards do it, I can't even get a clean 27 myself haha.
Control have something going on, too bad you didn't have more time for the LD
Joke aside, I'm a bit frustrating that rolling automatically make you go forward, I wish you could do that but still going sideways
Nice game

Thank you for dropping this absolute banger of a soundtrack on stream that seems to come with some game idk :smile:

But anyway, I actually found movement to be pretty enjoyable, and I spent a while trying to get all 30 as quickly as I could, but I couldn't get it below ~29 seconds. I'm shocked someone got as low as ~23.
@langotriel Thanks for playing, and yes, you are right! Jeg er norsk :sunglasses:
